[Paddlewise] Query: Move Seat on Dagger Cortez ??

I am looking at used boat (poly) at a good price, but to fit my long 
legs I would have to move the seat back an inch or two.  Would that 
upset its balance and handling?

The physical set-up of the seat looks like this is possible:  the seat 
has two bolts to attach it to a bracket, which is bolted through the 
hull.  If I move the seat back and attach it to the bracket by one bolt 
each side, it would be about the right place.  (Not necessarily easy to 
reaach inside, but it could probably be done.)

Is this an acceptable thing to do to this boat?  I am not (yet) a 
seakayaker, so have little experience to base a decision upon.
